PANIC stricken! 5 days and counting!

going away for 3 months seems easy until the week before when you realize all of the arrangements you should make before leaving!

what if I die overseas? do I even have any health insurance abroad? How do I get back? Have I finished my estate paln? Paid the bills in advance? Have I seen my doctor, dentist, eye doctor, financial advisor, best friends, family? Can I really get my 2022 and 2023 taxes done in a week? Did I transfer money into my overdrawn checking account? WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR? Can I get the funrance and garage door fixed before I leave? What about an alarm system? It would be nice to check in on homestead from Sicily! At least I could get a peek at the freeloaders…Ricky and Ronnie Racoon as they sneak onto the deck after dark!

Well, it is 4:54 am and I really should go to bed for awhile. By the way, what suitcase should I bring? Carrying my own luggage, no porters and my studio apartment may be up three flights of stairs! Plus I have a nonfunctional left hand as far as carrying anything with a handle: like a suitcase. (details on the broken fingers later….) I have decided one 25 inch suitcase, a good looking backback and a purse. That’s it! oh, and my lovely new companion: the CPAP machine! Argggghhhhhh……
